I just downloaded the client today and was having the same issue. Was required to update java and then was told my security settings were too high. I added the two exceptions mentioned earlier in the thread but they didn't work. The http://game.salemthegame.com exception works.

I get the java security alert when I launch the game, I tell it to run the application, log in then black screen and nothing happens.

Tried 32 and 64 bit versions of java, added all the security exceptions ever mentioned in this thread including http://game.salemthegame.com, turned off both router and windows firewall and antivirus, still no luck.

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: -1 at jogamp.opengl.windows.wgl.awt.WindowsAWTWGLGraphicsConfigurationFactory.chooseGraphicsConfigurationImpl(WindowsAWTWGLGraphicsConfigurationFactory.java:170) at javax.media.nativewindow.GraphicsConfigurationFactory.chooseGraphicsConfiguration(GraphicsConfigurationFactory.java:422) at javax.media.opengl.awt.GLCanvas.chooseGraphicsConfiguration(GLCanvas.java:1403) at javax.media.opengl.awt.GLCanvas.addNotify(GLCanvas.java:617) at java.desktop/java.awt.Container.addNotify(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/java.awt.Window.addNotify(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/java.awt.Frame.addNotify(Unknown Source) at java.desktop/java.awt.Window.pack(Unknown Source) at haven.MainFrame.<init>(MainFrame.java:196) at haven.MainFrame.main2(MainFrame.java:383) at haven.MainFrame.access$100(MainFrame.java:35) at haven.MainFrame$7.run(MainFrame.java:426) at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)How to fix it?
